CASEY' SECRET OUT De Wolf Hopper Says Parody Born in Worcester. " , detailsof the wassail that followed I will draw the veil of charity." E. L. THAYER IS AUTHOR Prominent Manufacturer, Liked by Everjone, Is Father or "Casey at the Bat," Always Connected With Comedian's Career. The mere mention of the name of De Wolf Hopper, the popular comedian, who will soon appear in opera In Port land, connects his association with that familiar epic "Casey at the Bat." It matters not what, role the tall comedian Is "playiugt or In what part of the country he is.' there Is always an insistence upon the part of the au dience for "Casey." As this poem has been ao Intimately associated with Hopper's career, it no doubt may prove interesting- to know how he secured it. "Thereby hangs a story," says Mr. Hopper. "It was longr before 'Wang ever saw the light. It was in 1887 that Archibald Clavering Gunter sent 'Casey' to me. He never said where he got it, but merely requested that I should read it over and recite it the next day when the Chieagro and New York base ball clubs would be guests at the theater where we were playing: in New York. I looked at it and nearly fainted. "We were playing: at Wallack's thep, and I was in no mood to gret anything in shape. My son was ill with diph theritic sore throat, and I believed he was going- to die. I told Colonel Mc Caull (I was a member of the McCaull Opera Company) that I couldn't do it, and that was all there was to it. and the next day I received at one o'clock a wire that my boy would pull through, and I sat down with 'Casey' at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. "if Casey is anything', it is a mile long:. 1 had it. however, within an hour, and kept it revolving: in my mind. At the time we were playing Castles in the Air.' Well, the night penormance came around, and in the boxes sat - the two baseball teams. There was Pop Anson. Ewing. and other famous players. To make a long story short, I pulled 'Casey' on them, and it made a hit. After the perform ance X hunted up Gunter and asked him the name of the man who wrote 'Casey.' He told me he bad cut it out of a San Francisco newspaper some time before, because it' had made an impression on him. -'Will you believe it I tried for four years to find the man that wrote that ih:sr. I asked everyone. There were initials signed to the gem, but that ws all E. U T., and that was every blessed thing that 1 could discover. One night, five years afterward. I was playittg -Wang' In Worcester, Mass. Just before the performance a note came to ne in the theater, in which I was asked to come around to a well-known and exclusive club after the show and meet the author of 'Casey.' I accepted, and forthwith was introduced to the father of "Casey,' E. L. Thayer, a prom inent manufacturer of Worcester, a eharminT fellow that was liked 'by vot-yone who knew him. Over the DEATH-CAR DRIVER JAILED Chauffeur of Auto "Which Killed Three Sent to KocUpile. Ross Cummings, chauffeur of the automobile in which three men met death September 28 in a collision with a streetcar at Williams avenue and Wasco street, was sentenced by Muni pal Judge Stevenson yesterday to serve 90 days on the rockpile. The grand jury was unwilling to in dict Cummings on a charge of man slaughter, although the Coroner's jury recommended such action. It is be lieved that the grand jury felt that because of Cummings' youth it was doubtful if a conviction could be ob tained. Harry P. Coffin. member of the "Safety First" commission, swore out a complaint yesterday against Cum mings charging reckless driving. In the Municipal Court Cummings plead ed guilty. y W. H. Thurston, W. E. Hendricks and Allen Cook were fatality victims in the machine that Cummings was driving. LOW TAX LEVY CERTAIN CUT OF C130.0OO Wot 1,13 BRIMi RK WIIREMEMT TO 6.8 MILLS. With Estimated Receipts of C7S1.051 and Surplus of S4O4.0O0 Burden of Taxation Is Lighter. An investigation in detail of the financial standing of the city and the estimated cost of conducting munici pal departments and, bureaus during 1915 indicates that the city will have the lowest tax next year of any year since 1911. The opinion is based upon consideration of the estimates of ex penditure for 1U15. the estimate of in come and the probablejSurplus of un appropriated funds at 'the end of this year. Should the City Commission pass all appropriations for 1915 as they stand in the tentative budget prepared to include many costly public Improve ments, the tax levy, it is figured, would be only 7.2 mills, or five-tenths of a mill lower than the levy for the years 1914 and 1913, after the budget esti mates had been trimmed. With members of the Commission pledged to a programme of economy, it is believed the cuts can be made extensive enough to get the levy down to 8.8 mills, which will be the lowest since 1910. The budget, as it stands now, calls for total appropriations of 83,828,207. There will be received in 1915 from licenses and other sources other than direct taxation a total of 8761,051. There will be left in the treasury at the end of this year about 8404,000. making 81,165.051 which will not have to be raised by taxation. This would leave 82,163.156 to be raised by taxa tion. Each mill of taxation raises about 8300,000. A tax levy of 7.2 mills there fore would provide $2,160,000, or virtu ally the amount required to meet the total asked for. By cutting out $120,000 the Council will cut the levy down to 6.8 mills, or to a point lower than in any year since 1911, when the levy was 6.8 mills. There is every prospect of the esti mates being cut more than $120,000.

NEXT ARSON CASE SET A. WOLFMAN WILL BBS TRIED I" JUOGB M'GINIX'S COURT. Guam ha a tetal populatiea ef 12,117 persona. Jurors in Albert Case Reported aa Be lieving Defendant Guilty, but Tes timony Not Corroborated. A. Wolf man. accused member of the alleged "arson trust," will be the next to be tried in the series of prosecu tions being conducted by District At torney Evans. His case will be called next Tuesday before Judge McGinn in the Circuit Court. Wolfman ia charged with having set a fire in hia second-hand store. 227 Burnside street, February 2, 1913, In order to defraud the insurance com panies. On the stock then on hand insurance amounting to $2500 was car ried and as a result of the fire $2212.60 was collected. Philip Davis is charged with arson jointly with Wolfman. The latter, hav ing confessed, will not be tried on the indictment that holds him equally guilty with Wolfman. Max Albert, found not guilty Friday night following his trial for arson, will be tried again on the eame charge, it being alleged he set fire to his dwelling in Alberta in November, 1912, and his case will be called Immediately follow ing that of Wolfman. Jurors who served at the Albert trial, in discussing the case yesterday, said they believed him guilty of the charge against him. but they understood from the instructions given them as to the law that the evidence riven by Davis and Goldstein, witnesses for the state, must be corroborated, and they believed it was not substantiated fully by other witnesses. The only course that re mained open for them, they said, was to find him not guilty. LIGHTNING WRECKS BARN Iejk Bolt Kills Horse and Shakes East Side District.
